That's not the point. Bennett is a moralist. Bennett should be the first one to understand the devastation that gambling can inflict on the 'innocent' family members who suffer because of the gambler's addiction. It's curious that alcohol is legal in every state, but gambling is not, but yet people on this board are trying to say that gambling isn't immoral or that it doesn't have negative consequences on society, and indeed, that moralists should have no qualms about spending their free time in an institution that bankrupts and destroys families.
Oh, the lengths people will go, to excuse one of their own...
